• Princess Elisabeth, heir to the Belgian throne, faces uncertainty in continuing her studies at Harvard due to a U.S. ban on international students.
• The Trump administration's policy could force her and thousands of others to transfer or leave the U.S.
• Harvard University has filed a lawsuit against the ban, claiming it is illegal.
• Princess Elisabeth completed her first year studying Public Policy at Harvard after previously earning a degree from Oxford.
• The Belgian Royal Palace is monitoring the situation closely, awaiting its implications for her academic future.

Princess Elisabeth, the 23-year-old future queen of Belgium, has completed her first year at Harvard University. However, her academic future is at risk due to a ban imposed by the Trump administration on foreign students at the university. This decision requires current international students to either transfer to other schools or lose their legal status in the U.S., which puts her ability to continue studying Public Policy in jeopardy, according to Reuters and CBS News.

The Royal Palace's communication director, Xavier Baert, stated, "We are looking into the situation to see what kind of impact this decision might have on the princess," emphasizing that the future remains uncertain. While she had just completed a year in a master’s degree program, this new policy has raised alarms for her continued education, as confirmed by Newsweek and India Times.

Moreover, Harvard has responded to the ban by filing a lawsuit, arguing that the policy is retaliatory and violates constitutional rights. Harvard’s legal actions underline the significance of the issue as it could potentially affect over 7,000 foreign students, including Princess Elisabeth, according to India Times. The situation remains fluid as the university seeks to secure the future of its international student body amidst this political dispute.
